Current Sketch

Now recognized as the living incarnation of the god he once presumed to speak for, the imposter Ares commands one of the six kingdoms of the Olympus domain. His city sate, Nikopolis, is located in the western part of the domain's central landmass. As Ares controls the military of Olympus, Nikopolis is the only city state that regularly launches attempted invasions of the other Living Gods' realms. (Other Living Gods try to extend their realms through other means). Despite Nikopolis being a large and well-equipped military state, its incursions are short-lived, thanks to the special tactics and resources of the Other Living Gods and their agents. It should be noted that all of the Living Gods have control of their own local militias to keep watch over the borders of their realms.
